Neither any SDL-app nor BEAST run. Only sound in KDE using artsd works.

What the f*** does "blocking mode" and "device not async capable" mean?

How can I fix this?

Regards,a.d.

Update your SDL libraries and see if that works. Another option is to set /dev/dsp to point to a virtual mixer device and see if that helps.

The MAudio is NOT a consumer audio device and so not all OSS apps will work unless they are programmed correctly - SDL does not behave correctly unless you have the latest versioon of the libararies.

File a bug report with SDL programmers not with us!.
Let them contact us and we'll sort it out if there is indeed a problem. As far as 4Front is concerned as long as XMMS, RealPlayer and other apps like KDE, etc work, then it means OSS is not at fault.
